Boost Wifi Signal and Connection Speed, Search for Free Unsecured Wireless AP

Posted: 06 Nov 2008 05:20 AM CST

You can pretty much search for simple tutorials on how to boost your wifi signal or connection for free; to some extent, a simple hardware and software tweaks will do the trick. YouTube has an intensive collections of tutorials, the classic aluminum foils.

The bottom line is, how much more can you optimize the signal and connection? A mere 10% gain is not worth the trouble, however if you happened to have some cash to spare, I highly recommend hfield Technologies’ Wi-Fire, what is Wi-Fire?

The Wi-Fire is a compact, range-extending USB device that enables you to access a wireless Internet connection from up to 1,000 feet away–three times the range of your internal wireless adapter.

That is three times the range. If you’re living in a city that is dense, what are your odds of receiving free wifi signal from, say, Starbucks located nearby?

How Do I Use, Open, Extract Bin, Cue, or ISO Files?

How do I unpack these compressed files?

.bin
.cue
.iso

These are files commonly associated with an image of CD and DVD. There are two ways to open these files, they are:

Method 01

Burn them to a disk, programs such as Nero or NTI does a pretty good job, these programs will extract the compress file while burning it to the CD or DVD. This method requires a blank CD or DVD.

Method 02

It doesn't make any sense to burn the file to a CD when u only needs to access the information once in a while. You can access these files with a virtual CD or DVD emulator without ever burning them. Some of the free tools available are Daemon Tools and Microsoft Virtual CD control panel.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Scratch Disk Error, Increase RAM Memory

Posted: 06 Nov 2008 03:28 AM CST

While using Photoshop for large files at 300dpi, there is a high possibility your computer would run out of memory and scratch disk, what do you do next?
Adding new RAM is one of the many solutions, but it is going to cost you money, changing your scratch disk from C drive to D when both drives are from the same hard disk does little in solving the problem. The solution is to hook up your removable hard disk to your USB port and set it as your new scratch disk, or simply give eBoostr a try, you’ll need a thumb drive, preferably a 4GB thumb drive.

What is eBoostr?

eBoostr™ is an alternative solution to Vista's ReadyBoost and SuperFetch technologies now available on Windows XP. It speeds up your PC and improves application responsiveness by using flash memory and free RAM as an extra layer of performance-boosting cache for your PC. Use up to four inexpensive flash devices to speed up your system. Add more speed to your PC without any hardware upgrade!

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Scratch Disk Error, Increase RAM Memory

The eBoostr trial version has no time expiration and you can use it for as long as you desire. Nevertheless the product demo is fully functional only for 4 hours after each system boot. Forget about googling for eboostr 2.0.2 serial or eboostr 2.0.2 keygen, 4 hours is really more than enough, after all, staring at the monitor constantly for so many hours does little good for your health, eboostr could double up as a reminder every 4 hours the need for cigarette breaks.

p.s. Adobe Photoshop CS4 utilizes the graphic card process (GPU) for rendering, which is technically faster than the intel CPU.
